Linear Accelerating Growth

[Zarono]

What is the name of the type of growth where in a unit has an entity, and adding another unit increases the amount of both entities by a set number indefinitely.

example: Diode A can handle a load of 20 watts/cycle and attaching another diode to the circuit allow both Diode A and Diode B to handle a load of 21 watts/ cycle (or 42 total watts/cycle)


Attaching Diode C to the cycle allows Diodes A, B, and C to handle a load of 22 watts/cycle (or 66 watts total/cycle) and so on...


mind you this is just an example and not a question about wattage or anything,

equation

an elaboration on this is that a=c(b+c) in that a is the overall amount present, b is the original unit, and c is the amount of units that have been added

i just need the name of the type of growth

Generally speaking, it is a quadratic growth.
